The UCAS process covers most larger institutions and most non-conservatoire specialists. Most people will apply through UCAS and your teachers/advisers will discuss it at length. The UCAS application process itself is straight forward, if a bit lengthy. You will need to submit your predicted grades, personal statement and a teacher reference. You will be able to apply for five institutions and these institutions will NOT be able to see who else you have applied to. You may be asked to attend an interview.
